Using a topical approach, the book deals with the themes of social, cultural, and political history; physical and political geography; the structure of the Parliamentary system and the electoral process; and the nature of the economy. In the second edition all chapters have been updated and new material on the environment and globalization has been added. Many fresh activities are included, several of which involve the Internet. Also new to this edition are suggested grammar points for task-based focusing activities."
